I just had an add pop up on my screen for Dove body wash, or soap, or some such thing. It wasn't a new window, it wasn't a banner add, it was one of
those static images that just literally covers the screen. It didn't have any button to click to close it. The only way to get rid of it was to
refresh the page.

There is an ad that chain redirected me to different sites. I was not able to see the ad that did it to me, because as soon as I viewed a page, it
created a pop up (in a new window), and then redirected me to www.primetrafficsite.com...

After taking me to that site, it took me to yahoo hotjobs, and then to a dating website.

I do not believe this is due to any virus, spyware, or trojan (I scan for these daily with many different scanners, and update my scanning software
whenever one is available).

ha on top of these i hate the animated speaking ones as well. i forget what she's talking about, but i especially remember a digital woman
advertising something on some pages, not here on ATS though. and the ones that ask you to vote on something completely stupid.

'You can only apply to this website if you're a muslim' it seems to be saying.

Imagine if the boot was on the other foot and there was an advert saying only 'non muslims' could only apply.
There would be lots of frothing at the mouth,righteous indignation and hysterical claims of prejudice and intolerance.

I suppose its still completely illegal (via corporal punishment) in many muslim countries for an inferior kuffar to date a muslim but I think this
advert is reverse prejudice as it promotes a 'religious cult members only' mentality.

The new Mirrors ad is here, and it's worse than the old one. Seriously, the last one used to freak me out with the girl pulling her face off but this
one, i just caught a glimpse of....eeww!
It shows a man slashing his throat and blood appears all over the ad. Very disturbing and seeing as an avatar like that would need to be changed, i
would hope that ATS would ban this ad too.

Uhmm.. We need to take a long and hard look at whether we would want that vimax advertisement on ATS.

In all seriousness, it is odd that images (gore, sex, etc) that would be violations of ATS' T&C if they were on a member's avatar or in their posts
but, similar or worse examples end up on-site in ads. Of course, I reckon that could simply be a case of Skeptic O. not being able to personally
approve of every ad that shows up here (guess that's why we have this thread). I once had Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man as my avatar but was
asked to remove it because of the nudity. I guess art and/or humor are in the eye of the beholder.

exactly. I agree with the whole ATS/ T&C thing. I have caught sight of that damn Mirrors ad about 5 times now and its disgusting. I come back on this
forum and what thread catches my eye? The warning against posting graphic images. What does this ad show? A man slashing his throat.
I'm sure it is hard fo S.O to keep track of them, especialy the Google ads (of which this is one), but still, this one is particularly gross.
